The Mortgage in the Drawer Scenario:

As we talk with people, we often find those who have a mortgage, maybe six to ten years old, and they haven't done anything with it since, ever. They have literally put the paperwork in a drawer, in a file, and have never touched it again.

What are the Benefits of Pulling Out the Mortgage Papers?

All About the Amortization Schedule

If you never look at it, you're going to be paying the amortization schedule on the original principal of your loan. So, it depends on what your rate is - if you bought back when rates were 6-8% percent and maybe you borrowed $200,000 – you’re paying your mortgage off of that amortization schedule.

How We Find Value in "Old" Mortgages.

At Trust in Equity, we take a look at your mortgage and review it. Maybe the rates have now reached a point now where it makes sense for you to refinance, but more importantly you're resetting your amortization schedule. Depending on your exit strategy, whether you want to get into a 15 year for retirement purposes or maybe just get your monthly cash flow down, we can get you into another 30 year. 

Just Open the Drawer! 

The mortgage in the drawer scenario is less of a dilemma and more of an opportunity. It's a starting point. Where you pull the mortgage papers out of that drawer and see what options you have. You really could be saving in the long run. 

Are you ready to pull that mortgage out of the drawer and explore an opportunity?
